About Save Calendar Primary Function: Илюстрация за календар

Book Text: Save Calendar е поредица от илюстрации, създадени за календар на тема пестене на храна. Илюстрациите показват земеделска нива през четирите сезона — пролет, лято, есен и зима. Цветовете се променят с всеки сезон, така че четирите периода лесно се различават. Симетричната композиция в китайски стил придава на изображенията модерен вид. Информацията за месеца и сезона е разположена в горната част на всеки лист. Рисунките са направени с компютърен софтуер и отпечатани в размер 800 на 800 милиметра. Поредицата показва тежкия труд на земеделците и напомня на хората да ценят храната.
